Won't you be my neighbor?

I have a few new little homes

 to add to my growing neighborhood :)

I have to admit...they are addicting.

I love that I can stitch them

sitting next to the hubs in the living room

while he watches his "blow them up - everyone dies" movies.

My quilt will not have 365 little houses

and it will only be a lap quilt.

I have it all planned out in my head

and we'll see if it turns out the way I hope it will.

In the meantime I started cutting the pieces

for my Hideaway quilt.

I love this fabric.

Reminds me of Germany

and the co-ordinating gingham just makes me happy!

I'm going to start piecing it today.

I can't wait!!!

I also wanted to mention

in case you hadn't noticed the flashing button

on the right-hand side of my screen,

but I've joined the Craftsy Block of the Month.

It's a free online course and each month

she'll be showing us how to do two different

kinds of blocks.

At the end we'll put it all together

in to one large quilt.

How cool is that?

I'm going to learn paper piecing

curved piecing, Dresden's and much more!

All free! Being new to quilting

I'm super excited to learn new things!

I haven't shown pics of the first 2 blocks

because I'll be honest, I'm not a fan of them.

I'm planning on making my quilt smaller

than the 20 blocks she'll be teaching on.

That way, I'll watch the videos each month

but only make the blocks I really like.
